"At 2:23 UT +/-2 min. June 13, there will be an occultation of a 15.9-mag. star in Libra, 4UC 352-076213, by the approximately 150-km Plutino object (469506) 2003 FF128. Like Pluto, these objects have a 3:2 resonant orbit with Neptune; other than Pluto-Charon, very little is known about them, so observations of this faint occultation with large telescopes are sought. Normally, these events can be predicted to an accuracy of only about an Earth radius, but we can do better with this event, since another occultation by the same object was observed from two stations in Australia on May 24th. That gave us a correction to the object’s orbit that can be applied to this event, subject mainly to the difference in errors in the proper motions of the target stars. So although at 2:28 UT the predicted path crosses S. Carolina and Georgia (where, unfortunately, cloudy skies are forecast), the actual occultation could occur anywhere in the eastern USA (if you’re there, please try it), including in the Washington, DC region, where clear skies are forecast. The occultation will also occur in N.W. Arica about 5 min. earlier, with an occultation possible in the Canary Is. and Morocco, and less likely, in Iberia.

The target star is at J2000 RA 16h 01m 22.6s, Dec -19 deg. 40’ 24”. A central occultation is expected to last 7 seconds, but there could be rings or satellites a minute or so before or after."
